Amen to that.  In particular, the only thing I've heard regarding
Netscape is that they've "licensed" Java.  Well, IBM "licensed"
NextStep, and never did anything with it.  They were just hedging,
so they could be a player if it happened to take off.  Netscape has
about a 70% share of the Web browser market; if they don't actually
use Java, it has no future.
